The share is backed up nightly so in the event there is corrupt we could go back to a previous version. A few of us also periodically copy the database locally in the event that the file share is inaccessible or we are mobile.

Is using a keepass type application the best approach? What about redundancy in the event you can't get to the stored list or it is corrupt? Any advice and/or opinions would be very helpful.
